What's the biggest issue with the financial allocation that people have? This is essentially what the White Sox did.
Hagen Smith: $8 million at 5th overall.
Caleb Bonemer: $3 million, equivalent to 29th overall
Blake Larson $1.4 million, equivalent to #61 overall, 2nd round
Casey Saucke :$857K, equivalent to 3rd round
Nick McLain: $800K, equivalent to 3rd round.
Sam Antonacci: $550K, equivalent to 4th round.
Aaron Combs: $250K, equivalent to #219, 7th round
Pierce George and Phil Fox: equivalent to #261, 9th round.
Liam Paddack: $172K, just outside of round 10.
In theory, they took one of the best players in the class at 5. Then they traded up for another first rounder. They added a 2nd, two 3rd's and a 4th but they didn't do anything equivalent to rounds 5, 6 or 8.
I'm seeing people take issue with Saucke and Antonacci the most. That's fair. I understand why the White Sox didn't play it straight in this draft class though.
